The Union DepOt.

The acceptance of the Tenth avenue
ordinance by the Union Pacific railway
is an indication that the expected i'm.
provements will proceed now rapidly.
The track will soon be laid, the new
freight depot erected, and all the desired
advantages resulting therefrom are to be
looked for at once. The public see more
IN 1t, however, than the securing of ad-
ditional freight facilities, however i'm
portant these may be to the heavy whole
sale houses in that part of the city. The
move is looked upon as the key to the
problem of the union depot. 1t is the
entering wedge. The establishing of the
freight house, and the laying of the
track, is to be followed by an enthusias-
tic move for large union depot, accord
ing to those who are best pusted in what
is being planned. 1t seems that there is
nothing now in the way of this project,
and the only delay to be looked for are
such as are inevitably connected with the
arranging of the preliminaries of so ex-
tensive project. The citizens began to
doubt whether the Union Pacific was to
take the ordinance, but now that it is ac-
cepted. they begin to have more hope
and doubts as to the future are disappear

The True system OF Advertising.

The Philadelphia Times says the waste
of money by ill-advised advertisements
is nearly or quite rs much rs would
literally advertise our trade in the best
channels. Many establishments spend
more for costly circulars and their dIstri-
button than would present their business
to hundreds of thousands of thrifty deal
ers through widely spread newspapers,
and circular seldom reaches others than
a servant as it passes to the waste basket
or kindling box. The advertisements of
our leading retail stores are as regularly
read in the leading newspapers by men,
women and children in fami-
lies, as the weather, market
and fashion reports. They are
made AS fresh and readable as genius
and skill can make them, and while cir.
culars serve the only purpose of starting
the morning fire, the wise advertiser
daily summons his customers from the
homes of the land, and his advertising is
the life of his trade. The fact that there
Is not great advertiser in legitimate
trade in this city who has not gathered q
fortune from his business. while old and
apparently well-established houses have
languished and died, is conclusive proof
that the newspaper that commands large
circles of intelligent and progressive
readers is the open highway to business
success and fortune.

The New Club Rooms.

Architect Maxon has completed the
plans for the club rooms of the Council
Bluffs club, but the executive committee
have not yet approved them. This will
probably be done, though, in day or so.
The plans show three dining rooms con-
nectcd by arches, two parlOrs, two cloak
rooms, one for ladies, the other for gen.
tlemen; two closets, two toilets, kitchen,
china closet, pantry, office, etc.
There Is to be regular club house en-
trance on Main street behind the First
National bank, and this will be of cut
stone and nicely decorated. II is the
intention to increase the membership to
200, and the committee having that part
OF the work in hand are securing names
as rapidly as possible. Such business
and professional men as have not been
yet cal led upon, need not wait but can
hand their names IN.

Protecting Home Labor.

The Knights of Labor at a recent meet
ing took action to secure, If possible,
more protection for home labor. They
appointed committee to wait upon the
council and present a written request
that hereafter no work should be let to a
contractor unless the contractor would
agree to employ home laborers in prefer.
ence to outsiders. The cause leading to
this request was that in times past con-
tractors having large amounts of work to
do for the city have brought laborers in
here, who remained only while
the work was in progress, and
the workingmen. living in the
city the year round were not given
employment The knights wanted the
council to put into their contracts here
after some clause which would prevent
petition of the knights mas disappeared
and it is said to have been loaned to one
of the reporters of an evening paper who
failed to return it. Its purport was given
to the council afresh, and in consequence
the council adopted the following resOlu-
ton:
Resolved, That the contractors whose bids
are accepted for any public work be re
quested to employ Council Bluffs laborers
for all work where practicable, and when
such labor can be procured at reasonable
wages. or same rates as are paid elsewhere
for the same work.
The Knights naturally look at this
resolution as amounting to nothing at
all. 1t is simply in invitation to con-
tractors, and has no effect in reaching the
desired protective point for which the
Knights started out.
The Knights desire the council to pass
o resolution in effect as follows, and to
have it made 4 corporate part of any and
all contracts hereafter for city work
Resolved. That the contractors whose bids
are accepted for any public work be required
to employ Council Bluffs labor for all work,
when such labor can be procured at reason
able wages.
Some of the leading members of the
order declare that they will have the
matter up in the assemblies again, and
take fresh action, so as to force the coun-
Gil to either refuse to do anything, or else
give them the desired protection. They
say they do not want any such meaning.

council.
